The average efficiency of solar panels is typically determined by measuring the amount of energy that individual solar cells are able to convert into usable power. For example, an average silicon solar cell has an optimal efficiency rating of about 15%. This means that it can generate enough electrical power to provide for all the …
Semprius is a renewable energy site with ongoing reviews about solar panels, wind turbines, solar flagpole lights, solar portable generators, solar gate openers and solar watches. According to experts, micro-transfer printing is the way to go if you’re working with non-native substrates and want to assemble microscale semiconductor devices. The process of micro-transfer printing involves bringing …

As you may know, sun is the most powerful source of energy there is and the amount of power that it radiates in an hour could potentially power the entire Earth for the whole year. Unfortunately, with our current technology, we can only harvest about 0.001% of that powerful energy, and the best way we …
A solar inverter is a device, that is used to covert or transform the direct electricity, also known as DC (direct current) into an alternative current also known as AC that we use in our day to day lives. That is the main way how the electricity is being processed. If you want to have …
Today’s feature is going to cover a very interesting topic that will be very useful for those who are planning to convert their normal inverter to a solar one. A normal inverter, meaning the inverter that we use on a daily basis, which is run by batteries could actually be converted in to a solar …
How to Convert a Normal Inverter Into a Solar Inverter Read More »
A solar inverter is kind of inverter that is generated by electricity that transfers the exact electricity output of the solar panel to an alternative electricity that could be used as a grid or off grid electrical medium. It sounds very complex, but is rather very useful. This article is going feature on how you …
According to a report by the Institute for Energy Research, only about 0.2% of the power that’s used in U.S. households comes from solar energy. The most surprising bit about this information is the fact that this number is actually an improvement from past figures! In any case, there are a number of chemicals involved …
